    "I use hand tools because it makes a lot of people think you know what you're doing." I love it! Sir, you do know what you're doing imo.

    @JohnParks351 Před 4 lety

    I can't pinpoint exactly what it is, but this video did a much better job explaining setup than others I have watched.

    Love Mr. Ng’s dry sense of humor and of course his expertise. As someone who went the Ebay/refurbish route before buying a Lie Nielsen jack plane, I wish I had considered buying the Lie Nielsen or Veritas Jack with the extra blades first. I would recommend that path for anyone starting out.

    • @richardsinger01
      @richardsinger01 Před rokem +2

      I wouldn't, its a waste of money for a beginner. Lie Neilsen and Veritas make high quality tools and are nice to have if you have very deep pockets, but you do not need tools of this price to do first class work.

  • @jimbo2629
    @jimbo2629 Před 2 lety

    Your comment about the side screws to enable the lateral adjuster to function was a Eureka moment for me. I baulked at spending so much on any low angle Jack plane, so I made a wooden one with the Veritas Norris style adjuster. The side screws will improve its deficiency with the lateral adjuster.
    Shavings turning was also enlightening.
    Your jokes are terrible.😀😀 They made me chuckle.

    I took a class from William Ng, it was expensive and worth every penny! I've had several classes at Palomar College but the best instruction was from Mr. Ng, he's simply amazing! ❤😂 As far as planes go, if you want three, a low-angle block, a #4 1/2 and #6 from Lie-Nielsen (expensive) or Woodriver from Woodcraft (less expensive), don't waste time on Rockler. There ARE better planes but these have great blades and are pretty flat , easy to use!

    @DavesShed Před 4 lety

    Saw a new William Ng video. Had to stop work and watch immediately. Wasn't disappointed.
    This is actually the first instruction on how to adjust a plane that I have properly understood.

    Welcome back! We missed you. Many years ago,, Patrick Leach wrote The Stanley Blood and Gore, and published it to rec.woodworking (www.supertool.com/StanleyBG/stan0a.html). There is a wealth of knowledge there on the entire Stanley line, and it is highly recommended reading.
    I know it takes a lot of time and hard work to produce quality material for CZcams, so greatly appreciate the time you donated to provide us with this. Thank you, William.

  • @roofermarc1
    @roofermarc1 Před 6 měsíci

    Good info. I sold my Stanley's, all 15 of them and bought LN. The thicker blades and truer body's made all the difference. I was spending more time restoring the Stanley's and always struggling to get them perfect. They were nice and I liked them but I'm not looking back. The LN I could put to good use with only a small honing.
